I've seen a shift from complete uncertainty to certainty, because in 8 years, YC startups have achieved notable success

In the beginning there were a lot of outside speakers, then they started inviting more of their own graduates

It was interesting to note that many of the speakers said that a couple of years ago they were sitting in the audience and looking enviously at the stage

too abstract ;) can you ask more concrete, plz?

What's your favorite story from startup founders?

(Dedicated to Jessica Livingston and Paul Graham)

Jessica Livingston's book "Founders at work" (2007, 32 stories) inspired thousands of founders to start startup.

I find 150+ founders stories to inspire new wave of founders. (+pitchdecs, demoday videos and applications). And finding every day more and more stories! (Sometimes I think that stories find me themselfs.)

It was amazing journey, it change my mind, I rushed into unknnown unknowns, where angels fear to tread... and I want to share this with everyone.

I hope, that FoundersAtWork.io saves 50-100 hours for 1000+ new founders.

It is my "embarrassing MVP", I continue to work, and I need your feedback. (+everyone can contribute founder's story)

I Wish I Knew this 20 years ago.

For me, it is the best motivation video ever. I put at the same shelf as Richard Hamming's "You and your research" and PG's essays.

Incredible thrust charge

Intresting fact from 2011:

"Second, we’re also excited to announce one of the first (of many!) projects that Amjad has worked on with us: Codecademy Labs, the easiest way to play with JavaScript, Ruby, and Python online." (http://www.codecademy.com/resources/blog/amjad-joins-codecad...)

Hmmm...

Year ago, by the same reason, I started to work on project http://ontol.org/

Happy to see, that I am not alone

Is it serendipity, that I just posted russian translation https://habr.com/ru/post/558800/?

In march 2020 I started http://ontol.org/ - my version of "Github for wisdom". Wisdom - is from DIKW pyramid "Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIKW_pyramid)

Glad to see what I am not alone! World need our hearts, hands and minds!

Now Ontol in close beta stage and I testing hypothesis in tiny russian auditory. But after this discussion, I will speed up by 300% ))) Thanks!

(My dream is to meet you in YC batch)
